A new year brings a new exhibit to the National Civil War Museum as the venue continues to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the American Civil War.

The exhibit titled "1864" will cover the events that happened throughout the year that shares its name. The exhibit will open with a lecture from historian Robert. K. Krick on January 15.

The opening reception will feature Kirkman's lecture, titled "Sixty-five New Generals: Fundamental Changes in the Army of Northern Virginia." Wine and cheese hors d'oeuvres will be provided, but advance registration is required for attendance.

"1864" exhibit will remain on display throughout the year during the museum's regular business hours - visit the museum's website for more info.
